Petit Amour – Gold Shank Button – 11mm | Atelier 27

Petit Amour - Gold Shank Button, 11mm - Sold Individually

Small, luminous, and unmistakably French. Atelier 27's Petit Amour (Little Love) is a shiny gold metal shank button - the kind of quiet, jewelry-like detail that transforms the finishing of a handmade garment. Atelier 27 love it mixed with mother-of-pearl buttons for a layered, bijoux effect, used as a single back-neckline closure, or sewn in pairs on cuffs.

Designed and produced in France by Atelier 27 (Vingt-Sept), a French fabric and notions house founded by Athénaïs. The entire Atelier 27 button range is sourced from a manufacturer in the Lyon region - the heart of French textile craftsmanship - and every button is produced and finished in France. Atelier 27 specifically recommend Petit Amour for knitwear and cardigans.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this button sold individually or in a set?

Individually - price is per single button. Order the quantity you need. For a full cardigan or blouse placket, typically 7-9; for a cuff or neckline detail, 1-3.

How do I mix Petit Amour with other buttons?

Atelier 27 suggest mixing it with pearl-style buttons - for example, using gold Petit Amour for the top few buttons of a blouse and mother-of-pearl for the rest, or using a single Petit Amour at a back-neck drape closure. The contrast of gold metal against the iridescence of nacre is the classic French bijoux-button effect.

What garments suit an 11mm button?

11mm is a small-to-mid size, ideal for fine fabrics and lightweight garments - blouses, lightweight cardigans, shirt cuffs, and any project where the button is a jewelry-like accent rather than a heavy-duty closure.

Is this button machine washable?

Yes - machine wash your finished garment inside out on a gentle cycle.

What does Oeko-Tex certified mean?

Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification confirms the button has been independently tested and found free from harmful substances - including the metal alloy and any surface treatments.
